Timberwolves coach Kurt Rambis remains interested in what Darko Milicic has to offer in the NBA.

"We're seeing glimpses of tremendous potential for him and for us," Rambis said. "He made a pass to Ramon Sessions that Ramon wasn't even looking for, probably assuming there was no way Darko was going to get him the basketball. He has such tremendous vision and passing capabilities.

"We really haven't seen an exorbitant amount of what he can do scoring, but it's there. It's just starting to poke out. That's why we're doing things in practice to encourage him to not only pass the basketball but also look for his own opportunities."

Minnesota acquired Milicic from New York in exchange for Brian Cardinal in February.

Milicic, who will be a free agent this summer, has repeatedly expressed his desire to return to Europe.
